Europe Day: Statements (8 May 2024)

Bríd Smith: I agree with the points made by the previous speaker on the Common Fisheries Policy. It has not just decimated fisher communities, it has also created an ecological disaster. It is totally unsustainable. Having looked at the Amárach Research poll carried out North and South, it is quite remarkable how favourably Irish people look upon the EU. The polling results are quite positive...

There are no words to describe the horrendous outcome we may see where 1.5 million Palestinian people are under bombardment in a small area of land. In the midst of this horrendous scene, it is heartening and uplifting to see students at Trinity College Dublin taking action to insist on divestment, sanctions and an...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 May 2024)

Bríd Smith: It has been nearly two weeks since the Tánaiste was given the go-ahead to bring legislation before the Dáil to get rid of the triple lock in the context of our neutrality, and we have not seen that legislation.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (2 May 2024)

Bríd Smith: Deputy Murphy is correct. It does not make any sense. It is totally illogical to say that we will operate within the UN Charter and, at the same time, we want to break free of the UN Security Council. They are part and parcel of the same package. The Tánaiste has gone back to when he was aged 12 and how he remembers the campaign and how we threatened that there was going to be...
